The seat of
Calhoun County, Blountstown lies along the Apalachicola River. Nestled
between the city of Tallahassee and the beautiful beaches in Panama
City, Blountstown offers everything sought after for a quality
lifestyle.
Blountstown is served by State Highways 20, 69
and 71.
The city of Blountstown was named for John Blount, a Seminole Indian
chief. Blount was a guide for General Andrew Jackson when he invaded
Spanish Florida in 1818. This invasion led the United States to
purchase Florida from Spain, and the territory became a part of the US
in 1821.
The Chipola River and the Apalachicola River give fishermen
everything they could ask for. Not only are the rivers great for the
sportsman, but also for the nature lover who enjoys escaping to
scenic areas of undisturbed beauty. Those up for a float trip should
try paddling down the Chipola River State Canoe Trail. |
